A feature film starring Kirk Douglas with Eve
Miller Patrice Wymore , Edgar Buchanan Jim Fallon , a charming but unscrupulous lumberman, moves from Wisconsin to California to exploit the giant Redwoods. He meets with opposition from the Quaker community, however, who hold the big trees in almost religious awe.

Billy Wilder 's comedy masterpiece starring Marilyn Monroe
Tony Curtis , Jack Lemmon
It's Chicago 1929 - the pre-depression, flapper era dominated by prohibition, hot music and tough racketeers. When Joe and Jerry, two under-employed musicians, witness the St Valentine's Day massacre, they nearly become victims themselves. The only escape is a jazz band heading for Florida. There's one great advantage and one big problem - it's an all-girl orchestra! With Curtis and Lemmon in drag, joining Marilyn as a tipsy, ukelele-playing band singer, this spoof on gangster movies rapidly becomes one of Hollywood's funniest and most inventive comedies.
